Highlights
Pet care experience
Active pets are happy pets
After graduating from Harvard, I moved from the Northeast to Wisconsin to train for speed skating. I grew up as a critter kid: my dad was a veterinarian and my mom worked in science museums, so I was raised around all sorts of animals, from birds, axolotls, and geckos to furry dog and cat companions. Since my move, I have been "dog-lonely" and am looking to show your animals some love. My family has always had huskies, so I am comfortable around big, goofy, energetic, and sometimes stubborn dogs. I love taking dogs for walks, but even more so, running with them if they are able. As a professional photographer, I also offer pet photography so you can keep permanent memories of your scaley, feathered, and furry family members.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I will always ask for a meet and greet before caring for your pets. My pet care will occur in your home and neighborhood. For walks, I will only take one household's dogs for a walk at a time. I can follow detailed instructions to a T and will maintain your animal's routines while you're away. I can be counted on in an emergency and know what a vet emergency looks like, and you can expect clear and timely communication from me around the care and health of your animals.
Ratings and reviews
I’ve had a great experience with Ana! My dogs liked her immediately during our meet and greet, and I could tell she knew her way around bigger dogs. Communication was super straightforward and fast - she even asked how often I want updates, which I really appreciate. Ramses was very relaxed when I came home after Ana’s visit. I’ll definitely be booking her again!
Ana was our dog sitter for approximately two years while our family traveled often for lacrosse tournaments with our daughters. We have a very high energy Bernese Mt. Dog and an older Yellow Lab (big dogs) -Ana was great with both! She walked them regularly around our neighborhood and was always very attentive to their needs. It was very important to me that I could have someone I trust in our home taking care of the dogs when we were out of town. Ana is trustworthy and caring and even gave us updates while we were gone about how things were going. The house was always clean when we returned and the dogs were happy and healthy! We miss her since she’s moved to Wisconsin!
Ana is a fantastic pet sitter! For the past several years, she watched my dog and two cats in my home when I travelled for work. I also hired her for drop-in visits to walk (run) my dog when my schedule got crazy. Even my cat who doesn't like anybody came out for cuddles when Ana was around. I found Ana to be reliable, punctual, communicative, and flexible. I always returned to calm and happy animals and a clean home after her stays. She was attentive to details around the house, including washing dirty dog towels and watering my outdoor plants and gardens during hot, dry spells. I will miss her now that she's moved to Wisconsin!

Schedule
I am a speed skater, so my days consist of morning and evening workouts. I'm available during the day (10am-3pm) and overnight (after 7pm) to take care of your pets.
